 A prize of 5000 is offered for the best essay on the progress of cleo tricity applied to motive power and lighting before January l, 1889, the king of the Belgians being donor.
 There is no patch of the moons visible surface half mile square that is not accurately mapped, ac- cording to Prof. Young, while the earth contains immense tracts, and in Central Africa, which have never been surveyed.
 In late experiments by Russian physiologist, neither pure tin nor the bichloride of tin proved poisonous when introduced into the stomach of a dog, but when the bichleride was injected into the veins it was quickly fatal.
 The attention of medical men in France has been directed to a new sieep-producing drug called hypnone, a distilled mixture of acetate of lime with benzoate of lime. It is claimed that the new drug produces none of the unpleasant after symptoms of opium.
 The housewives of Norway make their common flat-bread largely of the powdered branches of the young pine, not SO much to save flour as to secure light loaf. The bark proves to enotonlv nutrition but actually injurious. and is now being de- nounced by medical men.
 The captain of an Australian schooner, Mir. F. H. Griffiths, reports the setting fire of his vessel by a meteorite on December twelfth, while in latitude 230 53 north, and longitude 1439 26 west. No shock was felt, but two or more hot metallic pieces as large as mans hand were picked up.
 A NATURAL BIRD TRAP.-The orna- mental PisOniG grdndis of Australia has seeds like an elongated barley corn, which are covered with very sticky gum. This adheres to the legs and feathers of winged creatures coming in contact with it, and makes the plant natural bird-catcher, no less than a hundred birds having been known to be captured by one tree in Victoria.
 SNAKE VENoM.-The quantity of poison conveyed in the fangs of ven 'omous snakes appears to be very small, but of very powerful quality. Dr. Vincent Richards, of Bengal, mentions kraft which quickly killed three men and seriously poisoned a fourth, by bites given in rapid success sion. He estimates that the reptile carried eight grains of liquid venom in its poison glands, which are smaller than those of the cobra

1t would be especially agreeable to fol-
low this course at the present time and
to call attention to the valuable accom-
plishmentS of these departments dur

Importance of the subject to which this
communication has thus far been de-
voted that shall forego the addition of

your immediate consideration 1.-The
state Of the union" as shown in the
present condition of our general fiscal
situation upon which every element of
our safety and prosperity depends.
The reports of the head of depart
mentS which viii be submitted contain
full and explicit informa-
tion touching the transaction of
business intrusted to them, and such
ton in the public interest as they deem
advisable. I ask fer these reports and
recommendation the deliberate exam
ination and action of the legislative
branch of the government. There are
other subjects not embraced in the de-
paItmental report demanding legisla-
tive consideration, and which should
be glad to submit. Some of them,
however, have been earnestly presented
In previous messages, and as to them
beg leave to repeat prior recommends
tions. AS the law makes no provisions
for any report from the department of
state, a brief history Of. the transac-
lions OF that important department, to
gether with other matters which it
may hereafter be deemed essential to
commend to the attention of congress,
may furnish the occasion for future

Rarbed wire HFOnODoIy

JOLIET, ILL.,, Dec. There is a
strong sentiment growing among the
barbed wire manufacturers of this city,
which is shared by some of the manu-
facturers of st. Louis and other west
ern cities, against paying the royalty to
Washburn s. Moen of Worcester, Mas
sachusetts, while so many unlicensed
firms are allowed to run and pay no
royalty. Judge Treats decision, at St.
Louis about two years ago, was adverse
to the validity of the Washburn &
Moen patents, and since that time a
great many mOonshining establish
ments have sprung up throughout the
district coming under the judges juris-
diction. Washburn g. Moen are
understood to be pressing the I'M
licensed firms in the courts, but
manufacturers here are growing rest
less and one of the most prominent
among them said that it was the inten-
ton to form pool and contest the va
lidity of the patent. If the matter cul-
inmates, the Joliet manufacturers will
be joined by two licensed firms in st.
Louis and they will spend the money
in law that they are now paying Wash
burn s. Moon as royalty. 1t is further
claimed that this move is necessity or
licensed mills will have to shut down,
as they cannot compete with those who
do not have to pay a royalty.

Victory for Prohibition.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 5.-Jus-
tice Harlan is now reading the opinion
of the court in the Kansas prohibit
ton cases. The indications seem to be
that the court will sustain the right of
a state under it's ''police powers" to
suppress the manufacture of liquor and
the liquor traffic within its limits with
out making compensation to the dis
tiller or liquor dealer for value of prop
erty destroyed by such state action.
Justice Harlan delivered the opinion
of the court to-day. The two so-called
prohibition cases of Peter Mugler,
plaintiff in error, VS.. the State of Kan
sas, and in the case of the State
Kansas VS.. Hirman Zeibald and others,
affirming the judgment of the lower
court in the two Mugler cases and re-
veIsing the judgment in the Zeibald
case. The effect of this opinion is to
declare valid the prohibition laws of
the State of Kansas and is victory
for the prohibitionists.

DRUMMER TAX
Imposed on Foreign Commercial Tour
lists Unconstitutional.
A Test Case Made in Texas by Kan
sss City Firm.
A Wheat Blockade in Dakota fol
Want of Cars.
Barb Wire Makers Growing Restless
Under the Royalty System.
Against the Drummer Tax.

GALVESTON, Dec. Judge Sabine,
of the United States district court yes
terday rendered his decision in the
noted Habeas Corpus case of Robert G.
Stockton, a Kansas City drummer,
who was arrested early in November at
Tyler, Texas, for failure to exhibit his
receipt to constable showing that he
had paid the comptroller of the state
his annual occupation tax of SS5 levied
on all travelling statesmen. Judge
Sabine's opinion sustains Stockton S
position in every particular. The
language of the court in declaring the
law unconstitutional is very strong.
The court grounds it's decision upon
ancient principles of taxation without
representation and says. What
representation has the citizen of
one state in the laws of
another affecting his commerce therein:
Precisely none. If state can make a
tax at all upon interstate commerce, it
can do almost anything i'll that line.
The idea of a citizen of the United
States being challenged anywhere in
this nation by any power other than
national. in the conduct of his lawful
business in states other than his own,
is decidedly absurd and ridiculous.
The law in question is utterly void SO
for as it effects the commerce of
citizens of other states having
no goods herein. but selling
herein by sample" In an order dis.
charging Stockton from the custody of
the state officer and assessing the costs
against the state the court DEGREES that
leach and every one of the agents, en-
ployes and officers of the state of Texas
desist from all efforts to enforce said
law upon said Stockton as a drummer
for the firm of William a. Wilson &
Co., Kansas City, Missouri, and in nc
manner further proceed to subject him
to further restraint in behalf
whereof he hath complain
ed.'' The case has attracted
great attention throughout the south
west, it being the first test case of the
Texas law. The decision it will be
seen, only applies to drummers who
are still subject to the tax. There are
over 1 100 foreign drummers travelling
in Texas at nearly all seasons of the
year principally representatives OF
New York, st. Louis, Chicago and
Boston houses.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 7.-Nelson l..
Derby writes from st. Thomas, Dako-
ia: We are having great wheat block
ade up here, as is usual with us every
year at this time. Cars are not forth
coming except where rival lines of
railroads come together, and even then
keep market open far wheat. The
Manitoba people said before harvest
that they had lots of cars, enough to
move the crop readily. Now they say
they were mistaken. Since the COM
mencement of their history they have
each year been blocked at this season
with perhaps one section. 1t can be
readily shown that they have enough
cars to move 80 zoo, GOO bushels to the
terminals inside of three months. In
that period this year they have moved
about 8, 900 900 bushels.
